Hi guys,
This is my first post here. I did some search around the forum, but I couldn't find a similar topic so I decided to open one. My concern is the high exhaust temperature on my bike. I started measuring it because last in the season I melted my Givi side box.
I installed a temp sensor right at the end of my exhaust pipe into the exhaust gas stream and my brother was sitting in the back with a multimeter, and checking the temps. These are the measurements:
3000 RPM: 250 C / 480 F
4000 RPM: 280 C / 535 F
5000 RPM: 390 C / 735 F
6000 RPM: 450 C / 840 F
6500 RPM: 490 C / 915 F
8000 RPM: 620 C / 1,150 F
9000 RPM: 650 C / 1,200 F
It's a 2004 Suzuki Bandit 1200S with a Yoshimura RS-3 Slip on exhaust and Level 1 dyno kit.
In my opinion, the bike burns rich, it's very stinky in the back and sometimes I can also smell the fumes on my clothes after a long ride. But if it's rich, exhaust gas shouldn't be high, it should be cooler I think.
Do you guys have any suggestions?
Thank you in advance!
